This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Would Add Miami To List by dillon77

The Irish play Miami in Coral Gables on Feb. 7th and that could be a challenge.
They're 14-4 so far. They had a hiccup in a loss to Clemson, but they played without Beatrice Mompremier, their leading scorer and rebounder, who missed the game due to a family matter.

Outside of that, they've beaten Marquette and Nebraska out of conference, while defeating Va. Tech and Wake Forest in the ACC.

They could be tricky because:
- Mompremeier and fellow big Emese Hof are competent bigs who can challenge our frontcourt;
- Laura Cornelius is a competent point guard who won't get flustered and can hit open jumpers, while soph Mykea Gray is one of those waterbug guards (5'4") who can drive you nuts.
- And Katie Meier is a solid coach.

Outside of that, Totally with cbiebel:

- Va. Tech, after going undefeated in OOC play, has lost its first three ACC games, having just blown a big lead at UVA. They've got no weekend game so have nearly a week to get ready for us. Lot of pressure to perform well in our game because they then go to NC State and could be in position to be 0-5 in ACC.

- Syracuse will be tough. However, MM and staff usually come up with solid game plans against Coach Q's constant pressure, waves of subs and bomb-away attitude.
